[NWSL: Week 12] The unbeaten Seattle Reign FC has cleared star Hope Solo to play in Saturday’s home game against Sky
Blue FC following her arrest a week ago on charges of fourth-degree domestic violence assault in an incident involving her sister and nephew.

Solo pleaded not guilty in a court appearance
on Monday and was released on her own recognizance. The Reign said in a post on its Facebook page that an investigation, "which has
included multiple conversations with Hope, made it clear that there are differing perspectives on the events that led up to Hope’s arrest. As such, we feel it is fair and prudent to await the
outcome of the legal process before making a final judgment about the incident.”

Hope, who was ordered to avoid drinking alcohol and contact with her sister and nephew, made an
apology in a post of her own on her Facebook page: “I understand that, as a public figure, I am held to a higher standard
of conduct. I take seriously my responsibilities as a role model and sincerely apologize to everyone I have disappointed.”
